Napoli find themselves chasing down a two-goal deficit ahead of their Champions League second leg tie with Spanish club Real Madrid when they play host at their Stadio San Paolo following last week’s 3-1 defeat in Madrid.

Napoli now need to press forward much earlier than perhaps they would have liked in this encounter, but they do come into this match with a fair amount of confidence after registering a valuable 2-1 win away at Roma in Serie A on the weekend.

Looking in more detail at Napoli’s Champions League results, and the hosts have recorded some mixed results in recent times as they’ve beaten Benfica away from home, but have also suffered defeat to Besiktas at home along with taking just a point apiece against Besiktas (away) and Dynamo Kiev (at home).

Visitors Real Madrid appear to have one foot in the quarter0-finals stage already as they take a precious 3-1 lead over to Italy for this second leg, knowing they need just a draw or lose by just one goal to progress through to the next stage.

But if we’re to believe that Real Madrid will travel to Napoli looking to just avoid defeat then we would be kidding ourselves; it’s just simply not in their DNA, and with attacking players such as Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale and Morata, along with an impressive midfield consisting of Modric, Kroos and Kovacic, they’ll look to hit the Italians on the break.

Real Madrid are also unbeaten in their last 11 matches at this level, while suffering just one defeat from their last nine on their travels in the Champions League, which was a 2-0 defeat at German club Wolfsburg back in April of last year.
